Dataset
To provide data on the water quality of rivers in India between 2002 and 2011.
Data covers the period 2002-2011. The monitoring results obtained during 2011 under National Water Quality Monitoring Programme reflect that organic matter and bacterial population of faecal origin continue to dominate the water pollution problem in India.
Data consists of: name of the river, length in kilometers, number of monitoring stations and year. Water quality parameters are: Total Coliforms (TC) , Faecal Coliform (FC), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and conductivity.
Water quality tests and monitoring. The data is sourced from "Status of Water quality in India-2011"; Source: Monitoring of Indian National Aquatic Resources (MINARS)/35/2013-14
